New Street Fighter V trailer teases Nash, M. Bison, PC/PS4 beta

Posted on February 24, 2015 by John Scalzo

Capcom has released a new trailer for Street Fighter V and it confirmed what we’ve all long suspected… Guile’s buddy Charlie Nash is back! This Charlie looks a bit different than he did in the Street Fighter Alpha series, but his Sonic Boom is just as deadly as ever.

Stick around until the end of the trailer for quick M. Bison tease as well. It’s hard to imagine a Street Fighter game without him, so the announcement feels rather fitting, especially since today is Tuesday.

Finally, Capcom also announced that Street Fighter V will receive an online beta test sometime in the not-so-distant future. How can you get involved? According to Capcom-Unity, everyone who pre-orders the game will be eligible to join the beta. More details on the beta will be announced at a later date.

First live gameplay footage of Street Fighter V debuts at Capcom Cup

Posted on December 15, 2014 by John Scalzo

Capcom debuted the first in-game match from Street Fighter V during this weekend’s Capcom Cup, the finale of the Capcom Pro Tour season. Players were once again treated to a battle between Ryu and Chun Li, but this time it was played live on stage.

Capcom also unveiled an extended version of the Street Fighter V trailer they premiered during the PlayStation Experience event. This new version of the video (which is available after the break) ends with the ominous reveal of Charlie. Charlie is known to fans of the Street Fighter Alpha franchise as Charlie Nash, Guile’s former partner. And fans of Street Fighter: The Movie will remember him as the soldier M. Bison mutated into Blanka.

Street Fighter V is currently without a release date, but we know that it’ll be released sometime in the future exclusively for the PC and PS4 (sorry Xbox One owners).

And in case you were wondering, Yusuke Momochi captured the first ever Capcom Cup with a victory over Ho Kun Xian. (more…)

First gameplay trailer officially reveals Street Fighter V as PC, PS4 exclusive

Posted on December 8, 2014 by John Scalzo

The leaked teaser trailer for Street Fighter V may have knocked the wind out of Capcom’s PlayStation Experience announcement, but confirmation that the fighting game franchise will be exclusive to Sony’s system is still a huge get for the consolemaker.

However, we also got a look at the game in action and seeing Ryu spar with Chun Li was pretty impressive. The game appears to use an enhanced version of the art style found in Street Fighter IV, but the fighting is still incredibly fast and fluid. And according to the Capcom-Unity blog, PS4 and PC players will be able to compete against each other in the game’s online mode.

As of right now, Street Fighter V doesn’t have a official date (or even a vague release window). But Capcom has promised that we’ll get our first look at a live Street Fighter V match during the Capcom Cup on December 13.

You can also find the leaked “Rise Up” teaser trailer after the break. (more…)

Leaked trailer reveals Street Fighter V is coming to PC and PS4

Posted on December 5, 2014 by John Scalzo

Earlier this Summer, Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono confirmed that Street Fighter V was in “the early planning stages” within the walls of Capcom. This morning, Capcom accidentally posted a teaser trailer announcing the game… which is apparently exclusively in development for the PC and PS4. That’s not to say it’ll never be released for the Xbox One, but initially, Street Fighter V will only be available on those two platforms.

Capcom’s original video has since been scrubbed from the Internet, but you can still watch it over at Polygon. It’s likely that the video was meant to make its debut at tonight’s inaugural Game Awards or tomorrow’s opening day of the PlayStation Experience (which has several “To Be Announced” slots penciled in on the schedule). Both events are promising multiple surprise announcements and trailers (though one less now).

Capcom plans to promote the game by asking gamers to “Rise Up” and the trailer heavily plays up the franchise’s connection to the fighting game community. Presumably, we’ll find out exactly what these plans are within the next 24 hours.

Street Fighter producer promises new announcement at Comic-Con 2015

Posted on July 27, 2014 by John Scalzo

The Series Producer for the Street Fighter franchise, Yoshinori Ono, held court during this year’s San Diego Comic-Con to talk, not surprisingly, about all things Street Fighter. But much of what Ono had to say was familiar to the mega fans that made up the crowd. Sensing that the fans wanted to hear something juicy, Ono promised that a new announcement concerning the Street Fighter franchise would be made during next year’s Comic-Con.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t have anything to announce today. But next year I will, so please wait,” Ono said.

It’s unknown what Ono has planned for next year, but he did confirm that pre-production work had begun on Street Fighter 5 at this year’s E3 Expo. While a Street Fighter 5 announcement seems likely, earlier in the day, Bandai Namco’s Katsuhiro Harada confirmed that Tekken X Street Fighter is still in development, so who knows what will happen at Comic-Con 2015.

Street Fighter 5 is in the early planning stages

Posted on June 13, 2014 by John Scalzo

According to the Japanese newspaper Sports Nippon (via EventHubs), Capcom executives revealed that Street Fighter 5 is in the pre-production phase during an E3 2014 interview. Their report states that Capcom President and COO Haruhiro Tsujimoto said that the game would include a “pay-for-advantage” model that would enable inexperienced players to compete with expert level fighting game fanatics. A Spectator Mode is also planned and Tsujimoto announced that the game will likely be developed for the PS4 and Xbox One.

As you can imagine, fighting game fans went into a rage over the “pay-for-advantage” announcement and Street Fighter Series Producer Yoshinori Ono took to Twitter to clarify that such a gameplay system is not being considered:

So that’s one crisis averted and Ono himself confirmed that Street Fighter 5 is in development. That’s all well and good, but the game is probably more than two years away at best.

Capcom producer says Street Fighter V is likely at least five years away

Posted on August 6, 2013 by John Scalzo

Capcom plans to release the next major revision to Street Fighter IV update, Ultra Street Fighter IV, in early 2014. As the third update, Ultra follows in the footsteps of 2010’s Super Street Fighter IV and 2011’s Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition. 1997’s Street Fighter III only received two updates, so fans have begun asking the question, “When are we going to get Street Fighter V?”

Sadly, it may be quite a while before Capcom learns to count to five. Speaking to VG247, Capcom’s Tomoaki Ayano revealed that the next numbered game in the series may not be released until the end of the decade:

“Game development is a long and arduous process,” he continued. “If you look at the history of the series, it took six years to go from Street Fighter II to Street Fighter III, and nine years to go from Street Fighter III to Street Fighter IV. Purely based on that it would probably take us until the year 2018 before Street Fighter V comes out. So I hope everyone will play Ultra Street Fighter IV for a long time.”

So… Street Fighter V for the PS5 and Xbox OneTwo confirmed!
